Given the following code (and a small enough terminal emulator window):

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import TextArea

class TooltipTripApp(App[None]):

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield TextArea().with_tooltip(
            "Here is a lot of tooltip text\n\n" * 30
        )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    TooltipTripApp().run()

it's pretty much impossible to see the content of the tooltip:
